Hey Guys,
Couple of things to post today :)
Gonna do abit of update. Charmaine and Kevin are both gonna filming in Mainland China for months ! .. so you can't really expect a lot of news from them for a awhile ! They might come back to Hong Kong to do an event, but that's the most your gonna see them. :/
However, I managed to find some filming pics of Kevin.

Ohkay, next thing gonna update is what I'm watching so far.
Been catching to a couple of TVB series lately... Really enjoying it so far :) I'm impressed.
I tried watching When Heaven Burns but unfortunately I just can't relate to it. I honestly, watched it for Charmaine and nothing else. Before I watched it, there was alot of negativity about the series so I wasn't motivated watching it to be honest.

AND, in the end i really did not like this series. Its too draggy and the genre of the series does not suit me. Actually, I was really intrigued in the whole cannibalism ordeal but I don't think they bring that out well. SO yeah, not watching it.

What I'm also watching is a TVB sitcom, Til Love Do Us Die. TVB sitcoms lately has been so stupid. Like, humor wise is so stupid and the plot is unacceptable even for a sitcom. 2011 sitcoms was the worst by far.
BUT. This is a really enjoyable sitcom !! There is no exaggerated humor like you seen in 'Show Me Happy'. IT flows really nice and a really good family drama. Hence why the really good ratings the show has received. It gained up to more than 30 points which is pretty rare for a sitcom. BUT the only flaw I have with this series is the whole Joyce's marriage ordeal but still, I think its watchable. It is definitely though, more of a typical family drama so just keep that in mind.

And lastly, what I have been watching is Bottled Passion. I have read tonnes of reviews of this series saying how good it is so I was pretty excited. AND you know what ? It is good :) I really like the main leads, Niki and Raymond. Its a nice refreshing change and not to mention their good actors and quite good looking too haha.

I really like Niki, I think she is so pretty and pure so I always enjoy watching her onscreen. I'm so glad she recently signed a TVB contract so we can expect to see many dramas from her :)

Anyway, yeah the plot is really good and you can expect climaxes in every episode. I can't say much since I just started, but so far the story is fast paced and isn't draggy so you find yourself quite attached. One of the biggest plus of the series is that it is only a 20 ep drama so hence its fast-paced.

I am so glad there isn't a particular 'annoying' character in here like every drama possesses. I thought Claire was gonna be one, but she isn't so bad and she can be so funny at times. She acts sassy but she is quite kind-hearted :)

Oh, I find the poster of the series quite misleading.. it definitely isn't a sweet drama like the poster portrays LOL
Yeah, its quite a shame that it got aired in that timeslot, but it did get great ratings so that was a relief.

I wanted to post this because it followed along my review on Bottled Passion. A notable mention is Eric Li. Every review I have read has mentioned him. He probably receives the most evil roles to act in in TVB history so he was never liked. But I'm glad people gave him a notable mention through this series. :) To be honest, haven't seen much of him so can't say much.. i'll see..

TVB actor Eric Li's transition from evil to good gets applauded



All along, TVB artist Eric Li played villains, except for his latest drama Bottled Passion in which he finally got the chance to play a 'good' role. In the series, Eric played 'Law Yat' and had many scenes opposite of Raymond Wong. Eric's acting was recognized and has been praised. Regarding his roles going from evil to good, Eric expressed he is grateful of producer Lee Tim Shing for giving him the opportunity. He said: "This is my second time working with Tim Gor. He's very brave, making me go from evil to good. The public had pretty good response. Since the series started airing, my fans on Weibo doubled every day. I'm truly happy." Recently Eric is working on two new series including Dangerous Protection (Bosco Wong, Linda Chung) and The Great Eunuch (Wayne Lai, Michelle Yim), he is seriously on a busy schedule. Unknowingly, Eric has already been in the industry for 16 years. When asked if he had ever thought about taking a TV award? He modestly said: "I won't think about it. My mentality is the more I think, the more disappointed I will be."

Also, Eric had collaborated with several FaDans in the past, like Linda Chung and Nancy Wu and had some intimate scenes with them too. However, he had never had rumors or negative report, Eric laughed: "I have great chemistry with them and communicate well prior to shooting. (Did you spark with Nancy Wu?) If we wanted to spark, then it would have happened long ago."
